Much like how Superman fans had Smallville, Batman fans now have Gotham. This Dark Knight-inspired Fox series looks freakin' great. Former O.C. star Ben McKenzie returns to his former network home as Detective James Gordon, and young David Mazouz stars as a 13-year-old Bruce Wayne. The plot seems simple, really. Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered, and Det. Gordon vows to solve the case. How does this mild mannered little grief-stricken child transform into a cape-clad superhero hell-bent on revenge? How do a young Catwoman, Riddler and Penguin each become the villains they ultimately wind up morphing into? Fox is likely hoping the show sticks around long enough that we can find all that out.
